But ere we cross the threshold, A parting word we'd say To dear old Alma Mater On this our final day. For four long years our footsteps Have sounded thru your hallsg Our voices oft have echoed Along your loving walls. Our dreams, our high ambitions, Have been inspired by thee, And by the shining standards You've set for us to see. 'Twas thru your thought and wisdom We've gained a goodly store Of knowledge, which will help us To reach the goals before. May we, the class of '27, Be true to your ideals, And keep your name exalted In new and broader fields. May we through all Tomorrow Most thoughtful ever be Of you, our Alma Mater, And friends we've left with thee. RUTH WARD .3 ,- 1'- as ' r, 'ff 7 i 8 B E Q X -Q V5 G6o.m'W SENIOR CLASS 'zfffrfrf El I3 9 E llllzt eniur flllwas J. F. ALMAN Rare cmnjvound of quality noble and trim, With plenty of .ml-sc, and good liumor, ton. His genial smile simply captivates the ladies. His greatest trouble is to keep them away long enough to attend to his school duties. He manages to find time enough to devote to Math, his favorite subject. Indeed, he has a perfect passion for Trig. LUCIA ATKINSON 1,iyl1t-11var'I1'd, lioppy, wild and young, Slzr' ltizzglwrf, and fallkrti, and dmirvd and sung. Behold! The Senior class gigglerl Lucia likes the boys. The boys like Lucia. She goes out for a good time. and she finds it. The little flirt can rival Clara Bow. Furthermore, she can write poetry and is the poetry editor of THE SCRIB- BLER. She's as musical as Orpheus-as light on her feet as Mercury! BYRD AUSTELL If love be music, play on. VVell, here's our little violinist! She surely does know how to handle her bow fthe other one, tool. Furthermore, Byrd is one of the peppiest members of our class. If in doubt, just go to a football or basketball game, and see her lead the cheers. She's right there with bells on. WALTER BEAI4 Put not your fr1r.vl fn Laffn or 'wnnn'u. Walt's friends are many, almost as nu- merous as his freckles. He admires and is influenced very much by his uncle. Casey Corder. It is Walter's greatest ambition to equal the prominence of this great scholar. We all hope to see VValter managing the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce in the future. Anyhow, he'll make Spartanburg famous some day. 10 'itll NORA KATE BELCHER A good disposition, a friendly heart. If someone should ask what Kate's particular hobby is. the answer could be made with one word-basketball. More than being a ball fan, she is a true friend. A great many of us are glad that she will be at VVinthrop next year. BEATRICE BELL A maiden, she seems, of cheerful yes- terdays, and confident fomorrows. ' Beatrice is one of the very few Seniors possessing a dignity of step and a mod- eration ot voice. Moreover, she is a de- pendable, hard-working student. We know little concerning Bee'sl' personal affairs, but it is rumored that she is a certain young gentleman's ideal. HERMAN BELL Short in .r!ofn1'e, but in brains a. man. Four and twenty months ago, Hoi- man came to us from the swamps of lower Georgia. To be very concise about it, Hoiman is familiar with his spin- ach. It is appropriate that his name is Bell, because some day the world will ring with his praise. SIBLEY BELL Laugh, and the world laughs with youg Weep, and you'll need more powder. You never know what to expect next when Sib is around. Her tongue is evidently loose at both ends, because her chatter never ceases. Everybody knows that a little green Chevie coming down North Church Street means that some- body is riding with Sib in Gloria. 11 tlll: PAUL BENNETT ul'VlIt'JI lzvffvr marks are marie. livliiletl will mulcv flzvmf' Our information bureau has per- formed a remarkable feat. He has gone through High School without a blur or blemish beside his name. VVe feel con- fident that there is not a boy in his sec- tion who has not been helped by him over the rocky roads of ignorance toward the dawn of graduation, ELIZABETH BERRY My rniigm' zvillzin my lips I reign, For who .vftmikx uiufli 'will .rfvvnlc in 'z'aiii. Although Elizabeth doesn't talk much, she certainly says a lot when she wants to. She can tell you whatever you want to know about Algebra, roots, imagin- aries, or anything that pertains to Math. Luck to you, Elizabeth, in your college career and in everything you undertake. RUSSELL BERRY h,bllll1'lt', mul 1 .vuiilv will: you: l'il'U'ZK'l1, and I .rutile with .wizwnrw else. Russell, otherwise known as Russ, has a personality that wins many friends for her. She never lets her education interfere with her pleasure, for she be- lieves in having a good time if there is one to be had. XVe all wish for her the best of happiness in the future. MARTHA BLACKNVELL fl rum' rompouml of oclility, frnlic and fun, To rvlixlz a jolev and rvjoivt' al tl pun. Matt, our girl athlete, is a school booster and a jolly good sport on every occasion. She is always waiting for a chance to pull some joke on her class- mates. Her kind disposition is admired by all who know her. Here's to her fu- ture: a happy good time! EI El 12 E till E ELEANOR BOMAR 'Tis the songs ye sing and the smiles ye wear Tliafs a.-makin' the sim shine every- where. NVhen Eleanor steps out in front of the grandstand and cries, Yell! we yell. She can sing alto to any song that's sug- gested. She is one of those people who can put on an intellectual look at nine o'clock and take it off at two. Besides being present at every social function in town, she has tried out nearly every col- lege floor in the State where dances are given. ELIZABETH BROWN The rule of my life is 10 make bus- iness a pleasure, and pleasure my bus- mess. Lib is one of the jolliest people that ever walked through the halls of our high school. She is always there with her laugh and smile. With her charming per- sonality, her romantic nature, and her keen sense of humor, she has won many friends. who predict for her the greatest success. ADDIE BURWELL At last my senfenee is served. A lover of pleasure, a charmer of hearts--that's Addie. She manages to see the bright side of life, even in her school work. We all wish for her a happy and successful future. AURELIA BUSH Her pencil drew w11afe'er her sau! de- signed, .-Ind oft the happy draft surpassed the image in her mind. Some girls can sing, while others are gifted with the power of tripping it on the light fantastic toe, but the good fairies bestowed Art upon Aurelia. Even though she does lots of work for the SCRIBBLER, she always finds time to draw some little sketch for her many friends. Her art, however, doesn't interfere with her studies. XVe are perfectly safe in predicting that she will become a great artist some day. EI El 13 JAMES CALDVVELL Bc what you are! jim is a quiet, unassuming chap who drills his way into everyone's heart with his congenial smile. Several years ago he equipped his tricycle with four-wheel brakes. This, in itself, is an indication that he will contribute some great inven- tion to the world one of these days. DOROTHY CANNON Variety is the spice of life. Suooty? Nol She is just a little in- different and spoiled. Even the time must wait for her as she strolls leisurely through the corridors from class to class. Dorothy is known by her peculiar pro- nunciation of words, especially in French. To the school she leaves an impression of high heels, of Charleston skirts, of green Cadillacs, and, most of all, of her pleasing personality. EPPS CANTRELL Worry liftlr, work less, My idea of 11appim'.r.v. Epps is the sheik of his class, but he doesn't know it yet. He might have his ups and downs in Algebra, but he makes up for that in History. His chief trait is determination. This caused him to work on the gridiron for four years in order to make the team the last two. His winning smile has won him many friends. VVINSTON CARRINGTON A man wlm .rmrzdx four-squarv Io all Ihr' rvinds that blow. Through the day with Carrington: 7:00 A. M.--Arises. 8:00 A. M.-Has short conference with his books. 9 to 2:00 -Corrects the faculty. 2:30 P. M.--Rehlls lunch basket. 4:00 P. M.-Swings a mean racket, while tennis balls fall thick and fast. 7:00 P.M.-Carrington completes his 12-2 mile gallop. 8:00 P. M.-Drinks his milkg winds up the cat: puts out the clock: goes to bed. 11:00 P.M. to 7:00 A. M.-Dreams of becoming the Second Ga- brielf' El m 14 E llll : E llll Q SARAH CARTER Wlzom:e is thy learning? Ifatlz thy 'toil O'er books consumed the midnight oil? ' Sarah is another of the class of '27's intelligentia. We greet her in the morning with, Hello, can you explain this to us? And she always can! Along with this high intelligence comes a keen sense of humor. When there's a funny side to a question, Sarah never misses it. She is ever in a rush to study a little bit more or to talk a little bit longer. Thus we think of her as our hurrying, intel- lectual Sarah! LAURA LEE CASH Sho lla.: the genius for being loved. The reason that everybody doesn't love Laura Lee is that everybody hasn't met her. A frightened Heaven help us! issuing from the back of the room might sometimes lead her classmates to believe that she is in serious need of help, but she almost always is called upon, mirac- ulously, for the exact question she knows the answer to. Then is heard her de- lighted giggle, while the whole class is glad she's had such luck. LOUISE CAVIS None lm! lzmzrolf can br hor parallel. Behold! Found at last! A quiet and bashful maiden in Louise. She is a very studious girl, and one that both teachers and classmates like. She is modest, she is shy, but because she is so patient. we are sure she will have a very successful future. CECILE CHAPMAN If sho will, .rho will, and you may dcpmd on 't- Bzn' if slic won't, sllio won't, and llzafs rlm wid on't. Cecile is. to say the least, a very re- markable person. She possesses the truest heart, the friendliest smile, and the most unselfish nature in the world. Besides being blessed with the already-mentioned qualities, Cecile is simply chock-full of talent. E E 15 E llll E JAMES A. CHILES I would ratlrer make lz'f1'am1'tl1yI- rlnzmdobinrxojvlzvunuc rlzloridv than vat. Jim is the wizard of our class. His unlimited knowledge of Physics is meas- ured only by his ability to write soul- stirring compositions. There is no doubt in our mlllll as to who of our class has the greatest understanding of machinery. It's jim, of course. LOVVELL CHRISTOPHER I?ra.rn upg if if u'r'reu't for the rain, llwrv rvoirldxft In' any hay Io make while the .vim sl1im's. Cris is one of the most popular members of the Senior class. VX'hen something funny occurs in a class-room. he is the first to start laughing and the last to stop. Lowell likes Mathematics best: sometimes he passes on it. lt is very seldom that he answers to his name at nine o'cloek. He sometimes boasts of not being late once in a wlzolv revels. JULIA CLARK If Imyx interfere 'zeilll your fearle- quif 2e0f'k. Julia is just a quiet little girl from whom you never know what to expect. VVhatever she does, however, seems to be exactly the right thing to do. XVC haven't found out much about Julia's future yet, but from the above quotation you can see that she does not mean to take care of herself. AGNES CLEVELAND .l rare vozzzftozuzrz' of oddity, frolir and fun, To relish zz joke and rejoice at u pint. Agnes reminds us of Mah, the fairy queen. She knows how to be mischie- vous, for she manages to get by with murder, She has a brain that keeps her name on the honor roll and a sense of humor that drives away the blues. Her popularity at college is assured, for she is typically collegiate. 16 E llll B BONNER COCHRAN hIIfy,1L'l'L' ruorflz and 1l1t I'l'f meet. Barney is one of our finest students. If you want to know of his abilities, just ask the History, Latin, English, French, or Math teachers! Some day he will reach the crest of high achievements. JUDITH COHEN Better to Im small and slzinc than fo In' grvut and mst a xliadowf' NVho's that little whirlwind going down the hall? VVhy, it's Judy, of course. We expect to see her leading a Follies chorus some day. If she doesn't do that, she'll probably be a professor at a university. She could carry out either career with a dash. Her attractive personality is only rivaled by her curiosity, but how's a per- son to know anything if she doesn't ask questions? CASEY CORDER 'Trmz1iI0 has I0 bv .darted-so why no! Ivy u1v. ' HK. C., the famous uncle of Walter Beal, is the outstanding humorist of the Senior class. He admits that Mark Twain is the only man that even rivals him. As well as a humorist, Casey is a tall, handsome sheik. He hopes to suc- ceed ancl even surpass the late Rudy as son of the desert. Sometimes, but very seldom, he startles the class as well as the teacher by answering a question. C. has the rep of being South Carolina's worst cheer-leader. HARRY CROCKER For lzf .v au- ALL-ROUND good fellowf' .Dainty .li'l Harry sees only the bright things. It weight makes a man, Harry's t-wins. His jovial good nature has won ior himself a place in each of our hearts. EI El 17 l .. gills, TOM DA SHIELL Tl1err'.v zmllliug so lu'cov1es om' .els nzodexl .vfzllness and lzuuzzlzfy. Tom, small of stature, hides beneath an impassive exterior a heart of gold. Vllhatever he knows, he knows when to keep quiet. VVhen he talks, he says some- thing. ln his quiet way, he has made himself popular with his classmates. JOEL DEERY 1 dare do all llmf bvvrnllvs a munf lVl1n flarrxv do nzore is none. Behold our Class President and our football Captain! Joel is one of tl1e most conscientious members of our class. He puts his whole heart into whatever he sets out to accomplish. Some day we ex- pect to see joel leading a Baptist Con- vention revival. EDWARD DE VVEES Tout Tien! ri qui salt a!fend1'e. lf you see on the distant horizon a cloud of dust, if you hear the shouts and shrieks of men and women who are scrambling madly for the treetops, then you may rest assured that Ed is ap- proaching. He tears down the boulevard at the rate of sixty miles per month on his one and seven-eighths cylinder motor- cycle. He'll get somewhere one of these days! MARGARET DORRILL When lzfarfx are true. Few wards will do. A true-blue friend, that's Margaret! She is always ready to have a good time. but never neglects her studies. Oh, no, never! If any one comes to school with, Oh, gee! I haven't done my Latin. Have you? Margaret answers quietly, l'Yes. Vile cannot look into a glass and predict her future. but we wish her the best 0' luck. 18 REUBEN DORSEY All great men are dead, and I don't feel 'very 'well myself. No matter what the argument may be, Reuben is always ready to offer sugges- tions. Usually he is wrong. but occasion- ally he is right. He certainly knows his stuff in radio. A radio transmitter, built by him, has been heard as far as Europe and Africa. Watch him! GEORGE DOZIER For lie is a zvorleman an thc road to lccirnmgf' Although George always makes high marks, he always Finds time for his Scout activities. He's the kind of a guy that always makes the best of everything. For instance, he didn't cry when we told him, There ain't no Santa Claus. MARY ALLEN DUNBAR Come what come may, Timo and the hour run through the roughest day. Mary's high school career has proved her to be an ardent lover of Morpheus. Once in a while she becomes energetic enough to attend school. On these rare occasions she's simply bubbling over with pep and wit. And she's no vnenzy of the opposite sex. If Mary has a worry, no one has found it. BESSIE EKLUND She is gentle. she is shy, But fl1l'fC'5 misclzief in her eye. Bessie is just as true-blue as are her eyes. She has plenty of sense, and never makes much disturbance. Her place on the honor roll is reserved. Her only fault is that she will read ahead of the class in Latin. She puts across whatever she attempts. El El 19 lllll-or ANN ELLERBE Bart kind of n .vpnrl and 41. pal truc- l1lm'. A cheerful giggle and Ann are insep- arable companions. If somebody must in- troduce a new meter for poetry. Ann must be that person. Readers of THE SCRIBBLER look forward to her regular contribution. This old world will be brightened because of her merry, vibrant personality. FRANCES ENTREKIN 'WVU can do more good by living good than in' any other 'wayf' Although Frances is very quiet. you al- ways know when she is around. because- oh, just because she's Frances. She is one of the brightest, one of the most styl- ish, one of the most popular, and one of the most lovable girls in our class. DOROTHY EVAN S Ready to join in all the ffm, 1.1'!tlr' caring if Ir'.r.mns be done. Dot'l came to us in her Junior year. When it comes to basketball, she is a knock-out forward-she just puts them through without the least apparent effort. Her good sportsmanship is indeed a worthy asset. She sticks by her friends through thick and thin. The good will of her classmates follows her as she leaves ol' S, H. S. BERNARD FOSTER Taka cwrybodfs advice, than do as you please. Bernard is undoubtedly one of the leaders of our class. His scholarship record is extremely remarkable. Never- theless, he has had time to win a position on two varsity squads. As Athletic Ed- itor of THE SCRIBBLER he has done splen- did work. 20 E llll E CATHERINE FOSTER Newer trouble trouble 'til trouble troubles you. Cat is the kind of a girl that every- body likes to have around. With her sunny curls, her freckled face, and her merry laugh, she has won a warm place in all our hearts. She takes everything as it comes, for she believes- things are bound to happen, therefore why worry? BILL GAINES A man in- all the world's new fashion planted, That hath a mint of fvlirases in his brain. Here he comes-Bill! Hail to one of our editors-in-chief of THE SCRIBBLER! He is very original. Perhaps this is the reason that he has a trade-mark all of his own, a black and white striped lumber-jack and a slouch hat. He never fails to defend his own ideas, and he has what many of us lack. the desire to learn facts and reasons. He is an intellectual specimen, all right. HELEN GASI-I Worry and I haw :ml met. As you can see by her picture, Helen is pretty. She's sweet and quiet, too. If she ever worries over anything, she keeps it to herself, for we've never seen her anything but tranquil. When Miss Begg says, Well, that's good! I'm glad some- body has been listening! she is usually talking to Helen, for this young lady cer- tainly knows her French idioms. Ask Helen if History will be one of the sub- jects in her college curriculum. and see what she says. HELEN GILLESPIE Leave silence to tlzc saint.:-1 am bill human. Somehow, Helen manages to carry on an endless chatter and to keep her atten- tion on her lessons at the same time. She can explain anything from passages in Milton to the solar spectrum. When we think of her, we always think of wavy hair, of mischievous brown eyes, of high grades, and, above all, of a true friend. I3 El 21 I CA ROLYN GORE Whcre.roe'er thou mow, good luck shall fling her old shoe after. Carolyn's luck and her laugh are things of fame. Nobody knows how she man- ages to get so much done in study hall. But do it she does, and well, too, as her marks show. She's optimistic about the most pessimistic of things, and she keeps 4-A laughing at her witty and original remarks. Here's to Carolyn! DOUGLAS GRAHAM Girls may come and girls may go. And 1'll be right behind 'emf' This motto surely fits Doug. Whether he would be before them or behind them is a question of doubt, as he is well- favored by the fair sex. Doug is the kind of chap who makes school life in spring bearable. His wit has bright- ened many a class. How he can be the teacher's pest and pet at the same moment is beyond comprehension. KEITH GRANT Look 'wise and get the beizvfit of the doubt. Grant is no relative of Ulysses S., but he has a fighting spirit. Day by day, he valiantly fights Physics and French, never tiring, never complaining. He gen- erally passes, but sometimes the wrong way. Well, he's a fine scout neverthe- less. JOSEPH GRIFFIN Roll on, old world, and 1'1l roll with you. As long as the world rolls of its own accord, that's all right. But should it quit rolling, and any effort he required to start it again, Joe would let it stand still. Who has ever seen him poring over dull books? Or who remembers the time when he came to school five days out of the week? However, his Physics mark at the end of the month is sutiicient to make him wear a smile until time for the next report. Perhaps this accounts in some way for his cheerfulness and optim- ism. 22 is till E -tilt H CLYDE HAIRSTON In lzearts, steel is more 'valuable than gold. No, Clyde is not a boy! Clyde is a girl, and a very good girl, too. She doesn't waste the time of the class by that incessant chatter which is so character- istic of some students. Her conscien- tiousness will serve her well in her future career. MARY HAMMOND That girl who hath a tongue, I say is no girl, If wzth her tongue she cannot zmn a man. The inadequacy of words makes us hes- itate before attempting a description of Mary. She is noted for shooting the teachers a line-a line for which they generally fall. We wish her the best of luck for next year at Winthrop. JENNILLE HANNON Flirt, and the boys flirt with you. She's just a little person, but believe me, she has a great big heart. Jennille's dreamy blue eyes have made more than one boy's heart go ker-plunk. She evi- dently believes that she who laughs last, laughs best. for she always comes trail- ing in on the last lap of merriment with her merry chuckle, which starts us all over again. MARY HARRIS Aly heart is whole, my fancy frecg Go along, small boys, a'0n't bother me. Although Mary has a date every night and is up town every afternoon, she is always prepared on her lessons. Indeed, she shines in French. VVe wish her the best of luck at Salem next year. D El 23 JAMES HART Eat, drink, and be 'Hlt'l'l'j', for tumor- rnw we yrndilafe--nzaylzv. Jim! One doesn't hear from him much. but hels there just the same. Some peo- ple say he is a quiet boy: others know he's quite the sheik. James had had luck by breaking his leg in the hrst foot- ball game this year. He is a hard worker and a good sport. MARTHA HILL 1.it11v, blyllw ann' 7IIl'I'I'l-I' was size. Martha is right there when a joke is to he told or any fun is to be had. She doesn't let her fun interfere with her im- agination when it comes to writing. She writes the most fanciful of stories. Whats more, she gets the rush of the evening at hops. VVe know that good luck will hang on to her always. MINNIE HILL Her .rmilc ix the Iuka whirl: thi' Invest' is upmzi, Mflzm it Ilrvakx into liilllffitlf and Inuylix in the sun. Min is the soul of argument, and wherever she goes there's a dispute. If she stays in one place long enough, there is a row. During Min's four years at High School, in changing from the state of a verdant Freshman to that of a sophisticated Senior, she has found her- self to excel in Mathematics, but to cater to declining marks in History. Minnie, as you set sail upon the sea of life, we wish you Bon voyagell' LGUISE HILLMUTH The world and life are too big fo pass for a dream. Louise, a vivacious little blonde, is acutely conscious of everything that takes place. Things that seem ordinary and commonplace to us interest her deeply. She is a cheerful individual with a con- fident outlook on life, a dreamer who makes her dreams come true. 24 E llll E Urliiii Q DEANE HINES She 1ni.re.r reason with pleasure .-ind wixdnm with mirth. Deane is a regular Suzanne when it comes to tennis, and a second Snodgrass when it comes to jazz. She keeps up with the latest books and pictures, but she keeps up with her lessons, too. In fact, she is an honor roll pupil. Nuff said! JANE HOBBS Her wry frmwis are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are. Sister l Who is Sister ? Jane, of course. And who is Jane? The out- standing member of our Senior class! Her popularity and her looks and her sweet personality are things of High School fame. XVe hear of a little kind word here, and a kind deed there, and we know that Jane has been before us. SARAH HOPPER Give me muxie and true friends. and life will he a pleasure. Sarah, better known to us as Hop, has won many warm friends since coming to High School. Hop is inclined to be a bit pessimistic, but she has a great sense of humor, too. VVe feel assured that with her charming personality Hop will always have music and true friends. AMBROSE HUDGENS He that has light within his own elear breast llltty .vit in the center and enjoy bright day. Desperate Ambrose is indeed our Prince of Wales and Wails. He is up- to-date, even to a silk handkerchief in his pocket. He is the Prince of Wails in Physics, for when the end of the month rolls around and reports are the students! l31'gCSt W0rry, he bewails his small knowledge of this science. El El 25 E lllzr HORACE HUNNICUTT Alas, poor Yoriclc, lu' was tl fu-ifliful fool. Horace can singg he can make a piano sit up and begg he can draw rhythm out of a drum that would delight a Co- manche. But, above all, Bozo can make two laughs spring where but one frown lingered before. His wit is not of the stereotype variety. It is original. and so is Hunnicutt. Our loss will probably be Broadway's gain. Here's luck! ODESSA HUNTER Mali is not mecluf to fiw alone. Odessa is an excitement Hunter, She never fails to be present at all our games. She yells, too, when she is there-that is, unless we are playing against Charlotte. Her diminutive attractiveness and her eyes, sparkling with pep, have entranced someone there. Between her engagements on the outside and her dates at home, it's a marvel that she has any time to devote to lessons. just turn through the pages of THE SeRnsB1.ER. though, if you want any proof of her literary talent. Her poetry is delightful! EDWIN IEFFRIES I came, I sazv, I conq11v1'rd. Look out, girls-here he is. You might as well hang up your lassoes though, you line-slingersf' because no one has tripped this Beau Brummel' yet. Doc has been one of our old stand-bys in football and basketball for two years. We hate to lose him. not only for that reason, but because he is popular among students as well as teachers. LOUIS JOHNSON He is noi Hn? mmm in the nmmi, but the sicmr are within ll-iS reach. Stop, girls, and look at Louis' perma- nent wave! He isn't so bashful that he would object. It is true that you'll have to look toward the stars if you see that wave, for he is so tall that he reaches down to touch the top. This may be one reason he's such a good basketball player. 26 :llll WILLIE KAIGLER Wit and humor cover a multitude of faults. Willie has wit and humor, but very few faults to cover. Although she is small in size, she is mountains in person- ality. She has never hfeen known to miss a History question. Even English essays cannot sadden her smiling countenance. MEDORA KAMINER Po.v!pone your 'worries until tomor- row. ana' yozfll have none today. Medora, somehow, manages to throw all her cares to the winds. In fact, few come her way. Besides her economies with cares, she's very economical with the midnight oil, and wastes no time on foolish lessons. Just mention Wofford to Medora, and she can name the whole student body. HELEN KENNEDY Happ-imxrs is cheaper than worry, So why pay the higher price? Flashing teeth. sparkling eyes, a care- free giggle-Helen! She is one girl who can be a pal to you always Hers is a merry disposition and a generous heart. CLINTON KING Ay, in every inch a King. Sleepy is not always what this nick- name implies. for he is wide-awake when playing basketball or tennis. He seems to be a quiet and timid boy. but these characteristics vanish when he begins to sing. By his composure he has gained favor with his fellow-students. E' El 27 Q llltzm PINCKNEY KING I nm as I am, and so 'will I Ile. An extraordinary little chuckle, beau- tiful red hair, and blue eyes are only three things with which to describe Pink. Strange to say, a temper does not., accompany her red hair. She isn't talkative, unless there's something to talk about. Does she like Citadel dances? Oh, my, yes! Why? We do not know, for only 'fPink knows that, ELIZABETH KIRBY fl dattglztcr of the gods, divinely tall, and most di'v1'ncly fair. Elizabeth is one of the neatest girls of the class. Strange to say, she excels in both music and Latin. Whenever a joke hovers in the air, she is alert, nor is she one who laughs last. She loves the movies and a good time, but pleasure cloesn't have any effect upon her mar- velous gracles. Some college will Find her a very lovable student. EDWARD KOON If FITIICIIV were the only cause of dvuth, I'd luwv eternal health. Our friend Koon is no kin to the other famous animals that bear his name. He is a jovial, clever, friendly, and jolly fellow. FANNIE MAE LANFORD Life, what ar! thou, 'without love? Fannie Mae is one of the smallest and most attractive girls in the Senior class. Nothing ever seems to excite her, not even her books. Those who know her, love her. Nuff sed. 13 El 28 ll.li E llll E SAM LANCASTER Tai11t not your minds with History and Latin. If it were not for Sam, twenty-live students would be deprived of the privi- lege of attending High School. He drives the bus to school from East Spar- tanburg every morning. So far, he has had only thirty-four accidents. He is as good a student as he is an automobile driver. Sam's careless good nature has made him very popular. We know that his ambition to become a doctor will be realized. FRANK LEE A .rmllv for all, U, grfetiug glad, A l0'Z'lI,lJl!7, friendly 'way he had. Frank has shown his executive ability as Business Manager of THE SCRIBBLER. Since he is a very versatile boy, we are not sure yet whether he will write a sec- ond .7Eneid or help the Giants win the National pennant. Whatever he chooses for his career, however, we know that his cheerfulness and ability will help him to succeed. KATHERYN LEWIS Why worry? Care killed a cat! If worry were the only thing that could ever kill Katheryn, she'd live to be another Methuselah, for she doesn't waste many minutes engaging in that profitless pastime. She doesn't even worry about exams, but she always comes out on top. Hers is a happy disposition to have. , GEORGE LITTLE Why then the 'world'.r mine oyster, And I with sword will open it. Look! VVho is this but our own Ed- itor-in-chief! Not only is he one of our Editors, but also one of our cheer leaders. Furthermore, he is the person who keeps 4-A from being an entire class of suf- fragettes. George is forever talking in a brogue which makes him a distinct in- dividual. After school is out, he is going 'way up to Delaware. With him go our wishes for good luck and success. 29 E till E MARGARET MACOMSON Knowledge is proud that slze has learned so 1lLllL'l1,' Wisdom is lnmilnle that she knows no YY more. If you hear someone saying, Please, somebody, read my French, you can be sure that Margaret is somewhere near. Lessons that have not been studied cast no more than a fleeting shadow over her countenance. Margaret is a jolly, good old sport, ready to join in any fun. We all wish her much success. VIRGINIA MAGNESS She can dance, she can sing, She can do 'most cmytlzmgf' Who doesn't know Shorty. She is not too short to hold all the pep and fun one could wish for. She is a good rooter at the games, a hard worker for THE SCR11zm.13R, and a school companion to ev- erybody. School doesn't worry Shorty, for she knows how to be on friendly terms with the teachers and how to check their frowns. Among her other accom- plishments, she has had a successful theat- rical career. RAVENEL MAN SFIELD uGl'l'l.Y'-'ZUlltlf foolish things they arc! Yet, hors' drcar the world would be with- out fl1l'lll.n One reason we might suggest for Rab's universal popularity is that most people prefer blondes. A perpetual smile, a heart of gold, Hat feet, a weak- ness for the speaker sex, and the man- ners of a true gentleman are the ingre- dients that make up his likable nature. PRESCOTT MARTIN Dalit take life too seriously: you will izrfw' get out of it alive. Pres has a noble mind, but he never uses it except in the history class. He only wears a hat in woodpecker season. His kind of face Cfunny kindj always seems to attract the attention of the dumber sex .... Bull loose! Danger! 30 El Qztllt Q JUANITA MASON Nothing growling, low, or meonly selfish comes near her heart or head. Quietness, sincerity, and steadiness are some of Juanita's admirable qualities. Her brilliancy in Mathematics is one of her gifts that is wondered at and envied by her classmates. To all whom she counts as friends she is always true, and if she has any enemies no one has ever heard of them. The quotation below her name describes her better than we can, however, so just read it again and you'll know why we like her. LILA MATHEWES Ambition rules my brain, and love my 11I'fl7 f.,, When you go up-town, you can always see this fair damsel riding down the Main Drag in one of her cars with a bunch of Mr, WoFford's little boys. Wofford, however, isn't the only college she keeps posted on, for Lila's constantly writing epistles to the Citadel and N. C. State, This may be one reason why she's always late to school, for never does she permit duty to interfere with play. MILDRED MERRILL Woman ir to be Iozfed, not understood. Mildred is another one of those pre- ferred blondes. She stands a desirable witness for the atiirmative side of a fa- mous statcment concerning gentlemen and ladies of golden tresses. Although she is reserved at times, she is amiable always. Her sweet, gentle nature has won a place for her in the hearts of all of us. BETSY MILLER The only way to have friends is to be one. Betsy is a living example of this quo- tation, because she is friendly with every- one. She evidently believes that her best friend is her car, for she never parts company with it, except during school hours. Since we are not acquainted with the arts of Apollo or Cassandra, we can- not predict her future, but we wish her luck! 31 lllz ELI MILLER While I live, I crow. During the hours of torment, one might hear a loud voice vibrating throughout the corridors: this is none other than Levi convincing some poor teacher of his mistake. If anyone Wants to change a sign-hoard, just call Levi All in all, he is right when he is wrong and wrong when he is right. As a student. he'd make a good soup cooler. Stop! Look! Listen! HAROLD MILLER Tl1v law of flzc soul is vfvrurzl wzdtuzfor, Tlmt lifts ll' mem 11f'TC'lIl'Il' and miward fm'm'v1'. Harold is an earnest and hard-working student.

THELMA MILLER ,S'1'lrm't' sfu'ak.r fm'!l1 wi.m'nm. Thelma is a very demnre, quiet girl. Although she doesn't often talk, she is always interested in what is going on around her. When a quadratic can't he fathomed, she is usually ready to dive and find the answer for her class- mates. Her promptness, shown hy her regular attendance, is sure to bring her success. SUSAN MINSHALL lime lmjvjvy l could be 'wiflz l'llllf'l', lVerr' Voflzm' dear rlmrmm' awry. XVherever Susan is, there you may he sure to find a laughing group. In fact, Susan laughs and talks just about all the time. By her jolly spirit and her charm- ing personality she has made friends of all of us, although she has been at our school only since Christmas. XYe are quite sure that wherever Susan may go, or whatever she may do, she will always have a host of friends. In fact, no one can help being crazy about Susie 32 .

She has a level mind which enables her to solve many algebraic or geometrical problems that remain riddles to others. Virginia is the type of girl who is never affected hy sycophancy. She is very quiet and reserved, and is one of our few dignified Seniors. Her ever- ready smile has won for her a warm spot in our hearts. JOHN B.

Nlil,l.l'i PIQARSON ,S'ltei.vj11.vl flu' quiel lcirzd 'ZK'1lU.Yf nature m'r'i'1' 1'm'ie.v. Nelle should be well known, because she is one of the few quiet and silent girls in Section 4-B. By her droll and slow way of reciting, she unconsciously makes everyone laugh. It is interesting to hear her explain the most boring Phys- ics experiment. Nelle is a studious girl and a good pupil. 34 OPAL PEARSON Thu friendly grasp, tht' honest gasr, The twice that means the thing it says. Opal is quiet, reserved. and loyal. You can always depend on her for an honest opinion. She is courteous and sympa- thetic, never frowning or complaining.

LUCILLE POWERS Hound for success she seemed, l'Vith grace to win. with heart to hold, .rind shining gifts that took all eyes. To see Lucille on the stage no one would think that she was only a high school Senior, for she can make you weep like few people can when she gets a chance at some tragedy. She has, in the course of her acting, made, besides her friends here, many friends at Wolford. NVQ- hope to hear some day of 'Lucille as the greatest actress of the day. VVe feel sure, furthermore. that our hopes will be realized. BILL PRICE IfVhen duty 'wlzispws low, 'Thou 'Hl1l.Yf,, The youth replies, 'I l'Illl',.U It's not NVilliam. Willie.

A Mattie Lee, with those golden brown eyes, surely believes in her motto. She is about the most taciturn girl in the Senior class. If you want to know any- thing about Physics, ask Mattie Lee. VVe all wish her well in the future. HUGH PRUFFITT fl little learning is a lltlllf1t'l'01l.V thing. It is very seldom that Hugh digs very strenuously into the mine of knowledge. However, he is dependable and conscien- tious at all times. Hugh's dry wit and humor are the delight of his comrades. We wish him the greatest success in his future life. PEARLIQ R.-XY Life ix zz fmt. and all tlzffigx slum' irq I lllllllfllll so once, lm? now I know it. Four years ago Pearle gave herself to us. Now we give her to the world.

CATHERINE SETZLER Noi what .fl'L'llIS fair, but zvlzuf is trite: Not ielint we dream, but what we daf' Catherine certainly shows by her ex- cellent scholarship that she doesnt just dream over everything, not even nine o'clocl:. for her attendance for the past four years has been perfect.

Perxeverance Robert Bruce, liarl of Carrick, having been severed in a skir- mish from his Scottish troopsg concealed himself in a small cave. As he lay, awaiting nightfall, he reflected. The English had de- feated his forces six times. ln despair he half resolved to re- turn to the Holy Land and spend the remainder of his life fight- ing the Saracens. XYhile he was in this dubious state, his eye came to rest upon a small spider. Enchanted, he momentarily forgot his weighty cares. The small creature attempted to swing its web to a nearby rock six times, but in vain. Now, thought Bruce, if the spider succeeds this time, I will venture a seventh effortg but if he fail, I'll return to Palestine. Once again the spider swung with great force and finally succeeded in attaching its web. With renewed vigor Bruce went battled more successfully against the English troops.

BERNARD Fos'rER, '27. Enduring Epitaph: By an interesting coincidence I heard in conversation with friends during the same week of two very peculiar tombstones. One had come to a friend's notice because of the excess of the inscription on all four sides of the stone, which, standing in a now abandoned and forgotten cemetery, contained the whole life history and character analysis of some deceased human. The other was conspicuous because of its simplicity, and especially so because it was nameless. The grave most inscribed contains a now unknown man, while the unmarked slab is that of Bill Nye, popular and loved American humorist. VVe seniors are now standing at the threshold of Life. Let us pause,- ere we step, to consider the course of our journey through the coming years. Two distinct highways lie before us. Ours must be the choice between them. Une of them leads to notoriety and fame, the other, to true success. The first is one of selfish lust and blind egotismg the second, of whole-hearted devotion to the needs of others. The record of one may be brazenly carved on a soon- forgotten slabg that of the other will be engraved on the grateful hearts of a people. Will we, heedlfiss of our duty to others less fortunate, fix our eyes on one star, 'self-glory, or will we, for- getful of self, devote our short span in service for mankind?

VVe stand at the spring-tide of life, with the riches of educa- tion and a bright vista of opportunities stretching before us. What we shall do with these opportunities rests with each of us. In our school life, true to type, we have all met with different degrees of success. Some have soared like the lark, far aloft, winning laurels in all that we did. Others, like the snail, have crept onward. Yet each, through perseverance, has finally arrived at the desired goal. So in our future life we shall soar like the lark or creep like the snail, according to our God-given talents, but all will be right with the world if we do our best. FRANK LEE, '27. Unsheathed Swords Shall we then sheathe our still victorious sword, Turn buck our forward step-? As the knights of old realized that the end of their great crusade was approaching, this is the question they asked. So we, seeing the close of our high school days draw near, ask a similar one. Shall we stop our education with a high school course, leave the battlefield of learning, and thus turn back our forward step ? Or shall we go on fighting and struggling for another educational victory? VVe, adventurous youths, are prone to look into the future with inexperienced eyes. When we see the many things which the world has to offer, we find it hard to buckle down to books and to study again. We are desirous of seeking immediately our fortunes rather than of fitting ourselves for real success. To follow such inclinations might be to forfeit wonderful opportu- nities. Let us, therefore, heed the advice of our parents, teachers, and friends and continue our struggle for an education. Let us sheathe not our mental faculties, but let us sharpen and brighten them with constant use. MARTHA HILL, '27. THE SCRIBBLER 47 Senioritis Heaven knows 1 had no such intent,- Bnt that necessity so boufd the state, A That I and greatness were compelfd to kiss. Why do people keep harping on senior dignity, and on how stuck up and! conceited seniors are? We admit that we are great, and, as a consequence of our greatness, we quite naturally act with becoming dignity. But why should we be blamed? It certainly isn't our fault that we happen to be celebrities. It really is a very unfortunate situation. I had hoped that I would escape with a very light case of senioritis. Long years ago I resolved that when I reached that much-desired time, my senior year at high school, I would act as though graduating were an every-day occurrence to me. But no-I, too, am afflicted with the knowledge of my greatness. This Nbig-headedness seems to be an hereditary ailment which each senior class bequeaths to its successor. There's no escaping it. But don't let your good opinion of yourself, fellow senior, worry you at all. It .won't last any longer than the summer vaca- tion. just enjoy it while you can. Be just as stuck-up, just as conceited, and just as dignified and proud as you want to, because it's your senior privilege to be so. However, there's just one thing to remember. On the last day of next August, or, at the least, the first day of September, forget all of your previous greatness, and realize that you are the basest of mortals. If you don't, the consequences will be heart-rending, for in the month of September high school seniors are converted into rats'l again, and a conceited rat is intoler- able to sophomores. I know, because my sister was a senior last year, and this year she is a freshman. The difference is very marked indeed. HELEN GILLESPIE, '27.

A Parting Word Comes the parting of the way, and with parting come mem- ories, recollections, desires, and ambitions. Some of the fullest moments of our lives have been spent in the conflnes of Spartan- burg High School-some of the happiest in its shadows. Its spirit and its traditions have woven themselves into our very heart- strings. Its aspirations have imbued us with such ai ical that only realization can abate the ardor of it. Its hopes are our hopes- its faith our incentive. As we go forth, as many others before us have gone, we look back upon four years of pleasant companionship, of faithful in- struction, and of constructive influences. VVe have contracted friendships and associations that shall leave us only with death. VVe have expanded in knowledge and in power through the never- tiring efforts of our instructors. W'e have developed in an en- vironment conducive to the growth of only the best in mind, spirit, and body. NVe have been prepared to face the ebb and tide of Life's sea, and face it we will with determination, with courage, with faith backed by the faith of a school. VVe depart with the most grateful of hearts toward those who have helped us in our preparation for the Great Adventure. We leave our many friends, but with a pang of regret. VVe direct our foosteps toward the threshold of Life with unfaltering tread. NVe go, but we will return. BILL G.x1NEs, '27. wtxx if'vfN1-ax E J 45 ' , 3531. fi X. g3.f'!f'f ' It f- Q Q ' xv bl-lm G!!

AN INTERVIEW WITH OUR PRINCIPAL TV1 HE BELL RANG. It marked the end of the period, I, 1 and. for me. it was as a knell that sounds for a forlorn g V AI hope. NYith that bell, I had been told I was to go to ' the office VVhy that particular teacher made me wait until the bell to face the then dreaded visitation of wrathful authority is still a mystery to me. Per- haps she knew that suspense adds to the fear of a thing, and thus increases the punishmentg then perhaps she didn't. NYith leaden tread. I dragged myself to the oflice as though I were leading my own funeral procession. Dinning in my ears was the pessimistic admonition of some inner voice. Youll get it! Youlll get it this time! And get it I expected. I entered the sanctum sanctorum. No one was there. I waited. Tiring, I sat down. . ak! The office then presented a very ditferent aspect from its present commodious quarters. As all this happened four years ago, there have necessarily been a great many improvements in order to cope with the .increased demands and the heightened responsibilities of the organization. Then it was composed of one room. well-lighted with some live or six windows. but with only one door. That single exit preyed on my mind as I sat and contemplated this inquisitional chamber, for I considered the ,Lcf 4:5 f , 2 .8- 50 THE SCRIBBLER 51 difficulties of making a hasty departure, if, by any mischance. matters got beyond my control. They sometimes did in my early high school days. Time passed, and as my eye wandered over the simple, fitting furnishings of the place, the jagged edges of my nerves began to prick me. I wondered if I would ever feel peaceful again-if the ordeal would ever be over. The 'phone onthe desk tinkled. No one came to answer it. and it rang again. Waiting then for a full minute, it repeated its impatient clamor with such persistence and vigor as to startle me. Rather than be tolled to death, I cautiously arose, tip-toed across the room, and gingerly lifted the receiver. H-h-hello! I gulped. Is this the high school P came in feminine tones over the wire. Y-y-yes, ma'am! Did you want to speak to him-I mean. yes, ma'am l VVell, would you tell my little girl, Mary, to he sure to wear her overshoes out at recess, as it looks as though it might rain? And tell her to go by the dressmaker's and bring home her new dress, please. Clang! And she had hung up without even divulging her name. Who was it ? a voice asked, and I whirled around to see Mr. jenkins standing in the doorway. Some lady who wanted her Mary to wear her rubbers out at recess. She didn't tell me her last name, I quaveringly replied. People call up every day making such foolish requests. Did you want to see me P It had come at last. With a hand I could hardly control, I handed him the pedagogic dispatch that had brought me on this dreadful expedition. He read it, and then looked up at me. XVas it necessary, he asked, nfor you to throw that spit- ball ? I immediately launched myself into fairly plausible if almost incoherent explanations of the deed. I was not to blame. No, indeed! VVho was? I didn't know. Not I, at any rate. Do you think you can get through the remainder of the day without throwing any more of them ? he finally asked. Yes, sir. I'm sure I can, sir ! hopefully. 1 .-Arid . ' ..,gh . Q.. -I . af, I A 1 52 THE SCRIBBLER You may go. That was all. That incident comprised my first personal con- tact with Mr. L. VV. Jenkins. Since that first interview, I have come to know better Mr. jenkins as the friend and as the man that he is. The next visit to his office of which I am going to speak was, I assure you, an altogether voluntary one. The most important matter in the embryo graduate's consideration during the closing months of school is the selection of a college at which to continue his studies. Mr. jenkins is a man who listens to with courteous attention, and who advises with thoughtful care all who ask his counsel. Thus it was that I sought an interview with him. He was sitting at his desk in his inner office when we first started talking. I was fortunate enough to have caught him at one of those rare moments when a hundred other things are not demanding his attention. Consequently, after I had received the information which had brought me there, I eagerly grasped at the opportunity of an informal chat. During the course of the con- versation, I noticed several things that distinguish the man. He had forsaken his ofiice chair and was sitting in a cane-bottomed one that put him closer to me. His very informality is characteris- tic of his approachability. To talk with him is as to talk with a friend-a friend solicitous for your success. XVhat, Mr. jenkins. I asked at length, do you consider the attributes of success P To be successful, he replied, one must be primarily honest and truthful. There is no person today that is successful in the sight of man or of God that is not honest. Many are the slips that can be condoned, but habitual lying is not among them. Fol- lowing next, I would put reliability, the desire to work, willingness to start at the bottom, and ability to take orders. All these are essentials of success. Speaking of honesty, Mr. Jenkins, don't you think that the students of our school are unusually trustworthy ? Among the fourteen hundred pupils in this school, he said, stealing is almost an unheard of thing. As you know, Bill, each of these pupils has an individual locker, but the locks provided for them are never used. It is strange to say that THE SCRIBBLER 53 practically the only thievery in this school has been confined to the locker rooms of the gymnasium, where everything is under lock and key. We have every reason to believe that even then some outsider was the offender, for all the things taken were stolen when these rooms were left open. Your mentioning the gymnasium leads me to ask another question which is somewhat of a digression. There is a rumor, especially among the boys of the student body, that the school officials are planning to enlarge our facilities for athletic training. Might I ask if we have grounds to hope that this is true ? Since our present equipment, he responded, is adequate for only about live hundred pupils, such an extension must be made in the immediate future. The purpose of our athletic department is, as far as possible, to get every boy and girl in the school into some form of physical activity, and, to consummate this ideal, we must have facilities commensurate with the student body. VVe are more intent on reaching the underdeveloped and physically weak students through a program of systematic training than we are on further developing the already developed ones. It is a common sight to see some poor, little, undersized runt of a fellow stand on the sidelines of an athletic contest and cheer for the team, while all the time he is wishing that he were in the game- that he were the one scoring for his school. It is because of such students as these that we are planning to enlarge our physical training department and that we are running on such a heavy schedule. It is because of these that the coaches have introduced tennis, soccer, hockey, volleyball, basketball, baseball and football in the two forty-five minute periods that each class gets every weekf' He was speaking with so much earnestness and enthusiasm that I was unwilling for him to discontinue the discourse. Do you attach, I immediately asked, any value to athletics other than the physical benefits to be derived therefrom ? Most assuredly, I do. The student who takes a part in athletics and sports is preparing himself to take his part in the greater game of life. He is learning some of the great lessons that will be of paramount importance to him in later years. Athletic games instill. or should instill, in the participant high ideals of sportsmanship. a sense of fairness and of justice toward F? fl! 54 THE SCRIBBLER all, subordination of self to others, respect for those in authority, and a wholesome spirit of cooperation. Such training is of in- estimable value. It is preparation which will make one step in with a spirit of cooperation and play his part in the subsequent activities of life rather than become a chronic 'knocker'. I think I can detect, Mr. Jenkins, I remarked with a feeling of pride, the change that takes place in the student during the four years that he spends in this school. I don't know how much to attribute to athletics, but it seems to me that the senior has a fuller conception of loyalty and of cooperation than he had as a lawless freshman. Yes, the transition from an eighth grader to a senior is indeed remarkable. The child comes to us with no clear-cut ideas of school spirit, of cooperation, of responsibility, of self-govern- ment, or of proper conduct. During his First, second and third years, he gradually acquires a fuller conception of what these things involve. When he graduates, he can appreciate better the status quo of teacher and student. He can see the reasonableness of things against which he rebelled in his first year. The four years have simply turned the boy into the paths of manhood, the girl into those of womanhoodf' At this juncture the office door was opened stealthily, and into the breach was poked the be-freckled countenance of a youth of some fourteen or fifteen summers. His thatch was of red- the sort of red that compels the masculine members of the bovine family to take up the war path. His blue eyes surveyed the room until they focused upon us, and then drew back hastily. There came a timid knock on the door. Come in, invited Mr. Jenkins. The owner of the blue eyes and of the flaming locks reap- peared. He gazed about the room as though he had never seen such ominous safes, desks, book-cases, and fellow-humans. He was a Daniel among the lions, a lamb among wolves. I was sent-uh, I mean, Miss-uh, here's a note. A grubby paw extended to Mr. Jenkins a finger-printed note. Even before the recipient of the epistle could start reading it, Red fas he had already become to mej commenced such a recital of woe and of outrageous indignities to his self-esteem, that only a martyr could have evolved from such ordeals. THE SCRIBBLER 57 VVe older folks, he smiled, are sometimes prone to make the mistake of thinking that you are merely preparing for life. whereas you are living now. We would understand your problems better if we would stop to consider that they are just as real as those we face every day in our business world. Personally, my experience leads me to 'have confidence and faith in our young people. Every day I see students patiently and perseveringly striving to embody those attributes of success that I enumerated at the beginning of our conversation. As I see it, the life of the pupil is only the 'broken arc' that shall some day become the 'perfect round' of the fully developed citizen. And then fit must have been a gleam of hope that brightened his eyesj will the ideals and aspirations of this school be realized. BILL GAINES, '27.

CECILE CHAPMAN, '27. 58 THE SCRIBBLER A MAKER OF LOVELY GARMENTS 'mi HERE is a gay and lovely maiden who makes such s beautiful garments from wonderful, many-hued sub- X g stances, that the gods have her for their seamstress. 2 Every day. early in the morning, she gathers up all of ll ll her material, and spreads it out over her work-table. Q Cloths of every texture and every color billow softly before her eyes. Oh, what a task it is to choose from the collection one piece on which to work. Each day the same question confronts her. Should she select this rosy fold of satin and fashion from it a gown for Juno? Or would it be better to contrive a robe from this golden cloth for the goddess, Aurora? Almost invariably, however, she picks from the pile a roll of soft blue silk. Wfith loving hands, the other colors she slowly folds and puts away. Only the blue remains, with a few bits of white that are to be used as trimmings. From this she decides to make a robe for Venus, the loveliest of all the goddesses. All through the day the needlewoman works patiently on the azure cloth. One watching her can tell, indeed, that she is a seamstress fit for the gods. VVith wondrous skill this true daugh- ter of Minerva arranges her material in folds, gathers it here, pleats it there, and whips on feathery clouds of white tulle in exactly the right place. At length, as night draws near, the gown is completed, and again the youthful sewer brings forth her hoard of goods. To gratify a childish whim, she makes a patchwork quilt from all of her scraps. She sews the vari-colored bits together swiftly with her clexterous needle. just as the sun is sinking, the maiden finishes the quilt and puts it and the robe for Venus away quickly, for she knows that she must accomplish many things before the sun rises again. From the very bottom of her chest she draws forth a heavy piece of midnight blue, almost black, velvet. VVith nimble fingers she tacks on it golden star-buttons in a complicated design. Ah, she thinks. as she contemplates the twinkling buttons shining brilliantly against the soft and luxurious background of the velvet, what a beautiful garment you will make for the goddess of the night l THE SCRIBBLER 59 And then she sews on hurriedly, for the robe has to be corn- pleted before the morrow. If you get up early, as early as the young seamstress, some clear morning, and look skyward, you will see the profusion of materials spread out on her work-table there. And if you watch closely, you will see that she chooses the blue piece with soft white as trimming to work on during the long sunny day. At sunset, look toward the west, and perhaps you can see her as she folds away her patchwork quilt. But the most wonderful sight of all is the velvet robe on which the golden star-buttons are sewn.

JUSTINE WHITLOCK, '28, 60 THE SCRIBBLER IRIS' GIFT QANOTHER STORY OF THE RAINBOWD fry- v 1 NIE summer day, Iris, a little fairy artist, sat in the i, I heart of a big pink rose. Her tiny brow was slightly l ' ,I furrowed, and she gave an impatient twist every now and then. , What shall I give my lovely queen ? she asked Ml herself. She is so good and beautiful that only a perfect gift is good enough for her. I am so worried. If only a Thought would come by I Scarcely had she spoken when a pretty little Thought fairy alighted on the rose beside her. XVhy are you worried, little Iris? What do you want me to help you think about ? Today is Queen Mab's birthday, and the king has issued a proclamation that whoever gives the queen the most beautiful gift at the party this afternoon will have his first wish granted. VVhat shall I give her ?', XYhy, Iris, whispered the happy little Thought, paint a lovely gown for the queen. Your gowns are always so pretty. I am sure she will think it is the most beautiful gift anyone could have. You can ask the great ugly spider to spin his best fabric for you, and in the meantime, you can be gathering your colors together. I-Iaven't you some violet paint left over from the flags that you painted last spring? I am sure the grass elves will gladly give you some green, for they got too much at the be- ginning of the year. The rose fairy may be able to spare you a touch of red from one of her fiowers. Get these together, then go to the Sun and ask him for a bit of his beautiful orange and yellow paint that he used in his sunset yesterday. Aurora will give. for the asking, a liberal share of her azure blue. I heard Evening speaking of a new gown she has just bought, and per- haps she has a scrap of indigo left, which she will be glad to give you. These colors are the most beautiful in the world. If you hurry, Iris. I am sure your gift for the queen will be finished in time for the party. ' Oh! How lovely that will be. I thank you so much, happy Thought, said Iris. And away she flew to her own store of paint. and, taking a tiny pot of dark violet, she put it in a little THE SCRIBBLER 61 basket and went to the rose fairy and the grass elves. They were very kind, and gave Iris as much of their beautiful paint as she needed. The sun also freely gave of his rich yellow and orange colors. After traveling a long time, Iris at last reached Aurora and begged a bit of blue from her. And Evening, who lived across the way, gave her a scrap of indigo left from her last new dress. The fairy started joyously homeward with her basket filled with the lovely colors. But alas! just as she reached the middle of the great sky, a howling thunder cloud rushed across the face of the sun and swooped down upon the poor, frightened little Iris. who dropped her basket and flew for her life. She barely reached Fairyland in time to be saved, for just as she alighted on a branch of a great oak tree that stretched its arms high to meet her. the angry storm broke, and all the land was drenched in the tears of the cloud. And there in the heart of the kind oak tree, poor Iris cried and cried also. Oh! Oh ! she sobbed, I have lost all my paints. What am I going to do? I haven't anything to give the queen now. All my colors will be washed away. N ever mind, little fairy dear, said the oak, as he rocked her gently in his huge arms, something will surely happen, and your gift will get to the queen. Beautiful Christile, the queen-fairy of the rain drops, was Iris' mother. She heard her child's sobs and took pity on her. Xvhile the dark cloud still covered the heavens, she went to him and ordered that he should not wash her daughter's paints entirely away, and that he should cover the sky until she sent him word to roll away. Then taking some helpers with her, she began to work behind the curtain of the cloud. In the meantime, Queen Mab's birthday party started. All the fairies, elves, and sprites, dressed in their best festive clothes, went to the beautiful palace. I wish, said the queen, that that ugly old cloud would get out of the sky. He is hiding the face of the sun, and I would like very much for Sol to be present at our party. But the cloud hung gloomily and obstinately in the heavens. The gifts were gorgeous. Each guest brought a most ex- B El ' .I E El I -N 52:11. 5 . A-yyvwpy-xv-T53-.v. B THE SCRIBBLER 63 quisite piece of his handiwork. There were cob-web robes and gowns, beautiful satin, glass and jeweled shoes, dainty handker- chiefs of finest silk in elaborate designs and colors, and -last of all, there were crowns and sceptres of precious stones and minerals. But not one of these presents was any prettier than the others, and the queen could not make a decision. ' Then the little Thought fairy slipped in, and, sitting down by the queen, whispered something to her. Queen Mab arose land, looking about among the happy gathering, asked: lVhere is our little artist, Iris? She is not at the party. I wonder where she is. Go at once, Speedy, and bring her here. And away flew a little page to find the absent fairy. ' At last he found her, sound asleep in the arms of the kind tree. There were tears on her little cheeks. .Speedy felt very sorry for her. He bent over and lightly kissed a tear away. Iris, he whispered, you must come at once to the party. The queen misses you and asks why you are not there. Come quickly, for you know she loves you better than anyone else in Fairyland except the king. Ohl Speedy, I can't go, sobbed poor little Iris. I have no gift. And she told her tale of woe to the sympathetic page. XVell. let me see now. VVhat shall you do ? Scarcely had Speedy spoken when a messenger came from Iris' mother. telling her to go at once to the party, and not to forget her good breeding so far again as to even think of dis- regarding a queen's invitation. So the obedient fairy dried her tears, combed out her tousled curls, donned her party frock, and sadly followed Speedy to the palace. The queen welcomed her favorite with a kiss and asked her what she had been doing that she did not want to come to the party. Then someone said, And where is your gift, Iris ? It's up there, was the answer, and tears came again in her pretty eyes. But no one saw them, for all were looking up. 'lust then the ugly cloud rolled away, and the beautiful glow from the setting sun shone on a gorgeous bow that stretched from one side of the sky to the other. The bow was made of seven soft, pastel colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. They were wonderfully shaded and blended into each other, and lay on a lovely background of blue. 64 THE SCRIBBLER Every one caught his breath at sight of the marvelous picture. Oh! Look at my paints! They are all washed together ! cried the now exultant and happy little artist. Iris, how lovely! The picture is the most beautiful of my gifts, gasped the awed queen. VVould that it could be there always! sighed Iris. And perhaps it will, replied Mab. A dark cloud will we use as a cover to protect its fine texture and coloring, but often will we draw the veil back and admire the lovely painting.

THE SCRIBBLER 65 THE DECREE OF FATE f' ' AY, HAL, I'm in luck. I've got an 'invite' to Mar- jorie's house-party, and she says she'll be furious if I don't come. Gee, I wouldn't miss it for anything. 44 since we have two weeks, beginning tomorrow, for Iii II spring holidays. Q Bill Knight waved the letter in the air, and franti- cally rushed out to telegraph his fiancee that he would most surely be there. Harold King, Bill's room-mate at Newburn College, heaved a sigh of relief, and settled down to his studies. Bill's so up- setting at times, he muttered. 'WVe certainly might be the same type in looks-dark brown hair and eyes-but deliver me if I'm as noisy as he is. just as the studious Harold was studiously getting down to work on his studies, and trying his best to crack the hard nuts in math and science, Bill bounced in' again. He yelled, Holy Mackerel, if I'm not in a pickle now! just listen to this letter from an uncle who has been in India, and whom I haven't seen for fourteen years. He says he wants me to come to Fairfax and spend the holidays, and he won't take no for an answer. Now, tell me, Mr. Harold King, what am I going to do? I promised Dad if I ever heard from the old gent, I'd go to see him, and now I've promised Marjorie to come down there. Now what am I going to do P Bill, old pal, I'm sorry. You are in a pickle. I wish I could help you, but I don't see how. Suddenly, Bill's face became brilliant. He clapped his hands. I've got it! Oh, boy! You take my place. Uncle will never know the difference. He hasn't seenime since I was five years old, and you've got brown hair and eyes like mine. VVill you P XVhat P gasped the dumbfounded Harold. Mr take your place P Sure! It's the only way. I just can't make Marjorie angry with me. Aw, come on, Hal. I'll do as much for you some day. XYe-ell, I wouldn't mind it, but you know Dolores Pendleton lives there, and I care for her as much as you care for Marjorie. If I ran into her, my heavens, that would be the end. 66 THE SCRIBBLER You've simply got to take a chance on that. Keep under cover, then you won't see her. Bill stretched out his hand, and Harold clasped it, thereby sealing the pledge. That afternoon, Harold King stepped from the train which had just rolled into Fairfax. He looked around, and saw a chubby little old man standing near a magnificent limousine. ujehosaphat, I didn't know he was that rich, he muttered. However, he squared his shoulders, Hung back his head, and with a feigned expression of joy on his face, advanced to meet his fate. Stretching out his hand, he questioned, Uncle ? Bill ! exclaimed the old man delightedly. VV hy, boy, you're looking fine! Mr. Knight looked at him with a merry twinkle in his blue eyes, which foretold something humorous. They had just reached his home-rather mansion-when he cried out, Well, bless my soul! I forgot all about Dolly. Bill, your cousin is going to stay here and cheer her lonely old uncle. I told her I'd send you over for her as soon as you arrived. Now run along and don't stay long. He jammed Harold's hat on his head and almost shoved him out of the front door. Harold found himself on the sidewalk. Dolly? Dolly who? Where does she live? I didn't know Bill had a cousin living here. Good grief! She'll know I'm not Bill. I am in a pickle now l He jerked out his watch. No use to wire Bill. He's al- ready left for the party. He started down the street, but not knowing which way to turn, stopped and looked to the right, then to the left. If I only knew her last name, he thought. Well, I'll try to make the best of it. I'll follow my nose and see where it leads. He laughed, but by no means was that laugh real. Suddenly, he stopped, for he heard someone approaching. He looked up, and stared at-Dolores Pendleton. Why, Harold, she cried delightedly, I'm so glad to see you! VVhy, when did you get here P Oh, er-well, about an hour ago. Oh! You didn't telephone me, I- There was silence. then, VV here were you going? THE SCRIBBLER 67 What? Oh, yes, where was I go-oh, er--I don't know. Harold, sternly, what is the matter? Aren't you gl-glad to see me P No,-oh, I mean yes, yes, sure. I-. Listen, Dolores, I've got something to tell you. I'm not supposed to say anything, but perhaps you can help me. Will you ? Why, certainly, if I possibly can. Well, you see, I'm taking another boy's place. His uncle wrote to him, and he couldn't possibly come, so he asked me to take his place. Now, I'm in a pickle. Mr. Knight has asked me to bring Bill's cousin Dolly to his house, and I donlt even know her last name, or where she lives. Furthermore, she'll know I'm not Bill. When Harold stopped, Dolores laughed, and exclaimed, I am Dolly ! What Pl' yelled Harold. Yes, I'm Bill Knight's cousin. His nickname for me is 'DolIy.' I was on my way to uncle's now. VVell, of all things. It is surprising, isn't it? she questioned. But we're keep- ing uncle waiting. Huh, I-I think I'm losing my nerve, but come on, let's go. Inwardly frightened, but outwardly feigning joy, they finally arrived at Mr. Knight's. He led them into the drawing room. Harold tried to talk, but didn't know what to say, because every time he looked at the chubby little man, he was embarrassed, for the uncle would be laughing, and suddenly seeing Harold, would stifle his laughter and pretend solemness. Harold looked at Dolores, and she looked at him. They were both embarrassed and puzzled. Finally, Harold decided to tell Mr. Knight who he was. I-er-I'm-not Bill. Naturally, replied the little man, convulsed with laughter, since you're Harold King. I've been wondering how long it would be before you told me. Harold and Dolores, dumbfounded, could only stare at him. Listen to this, he replied, still laughing: Dear Uncle, I can see you now when you receive this, but don't be too siarprised. I was called away on busi- -W Y PLA DIS fr' -1 'fl El XF THE SCRIBBLER 69 ness-love. I knew Harold didn't have anywhere to go during the holidays except to a grouchy old' Aunt's, and as my cousin Dolly is Harold's girl the doesn't know she s my cousinj, and as I know you only 'want someone to 'play' with you, I packed him off to you in my place. Your love-sick and repentant nephew. Mr. Knight stopped reading, and looked at Harold and Dolores, but they were oblivious to everything but themselves. The little old man chuckled. Thus fate decreed it. GDESSA HUNTER, '27, O THE SEA Last night the sea was like a tortured thing, It writhed in agony upon the sandsg lt dashed its body 'gainst the stern grey rocks And tore the beach with wild convulsive hands. It clutched with frenzy high, unyielding clilfsg The waves uncoiled and twisted in their pain g A million voices from the foaming depths With wailing cries their suffering proclaimed.

FANNIE LOUISE VERMONT, '28, , W T . ' 'G THE SCRIBBLER CONTENTMENT The day draws toward a hushed end in peace, And twilight's hazy robe of grey descends- One part in folds, the other settling free- To vigil, and keep fresh the ploughman's art. The ploughman, stalwart son of field is he, Draws up twin horses to a common halt- Sleek beasts of Belgium's proudest line come down- And rests the steeled plough in virgin soil. The dying sun glints on his naked chest, As embers gleam against true polished steel, His hair is matted to his forehead damp By nature's evidence of honest toilg Rough-dressed is he in humor to his work, But strength of look and squareness of his jowl Denote his underlying soul and mind. He rests, and then accords the same to beast By loosing them of hamp'ring plough and chain. He leads his bonded brutes to water near The border of his field where runs a brook, Secluded in the dampish gloom of elm And other sylvan lovers of the cool Of wayside streams that wander free of will. They drink, and he, recumbent on the sod, In patience stays his thirst by watching them, As pauses he before the long tramp home. Tired as he is, he visions in his mind The hopes, the dreams that hold him in their thrall- His plans of future happiness and love Carved by the knife of present strife and toil. He breathes a sigh of heart-felt thankfulness, And o'er his wind and sun-tanned face there comes A smile-just that-a simple, open smile. His beasts look 'round, and both come closer still To put their muzzles in his out-stretched palms. He takes in hand the harness of the twain, And 'twixt the two meanders down the path, The gay but tuneless whistle on his lips A paean to the God of Rural Peace. BILL GAINES, '27. THE SCRIBBLER 71 HEROES ARE MADE-NOT BORN 77-1 H, HE collegiate Beau-Brummel, otherwise known as Penn j, 1' Montague, walked into the club room of a fashionable .QI summer town. Carelessly, he threw his bright scarf E 1 til . 'Y fcolors that would have given competition to Joseplfs coatj upon a convenient chair, and then, walking iw half-way across the room, he tossed his hat in the direction of his scarf. Not waiting to see the outcome of his chapeau, he turned to the boys in the room, and he greeted each in turn, from Joe, who was standing by the open fire-place with a large pipe between his teeth, to Norris, the butler. XVhere's Frank? Penn asked. Dunno, responded Bill. Guess he'll blow in after a while if that bad tire on the rear wheel doesn't blow him out before he gets here. Did you enjoy your trip up to Golfville today ? Oh! fairly good trip, replied Penn. For half an hour they amused themselves in discussions and arguments on all the current topics. Then, tiring of speech, they made up a bridge game, and it was at the point when Penn was reaching the crisis in a no-trump hand that Frank entered. Thought maybe you had deserted our girlish tea-table, Frank. Com' on, take my hand, I've gotta leave, interrupted the losing opponent on Penn's right. Yeh, echoed Penn, I want to get in a few more pennies to add to the family fortune before my date. Got a late date, have you? My! my! you're certainly devilish. to say nothing of your bridge gambling, even when you're poverty- stricken by the vicissitudes of fortune, volunteered Frank. Kindly cease your obnoxious raving. Snort, and look at your hand ! Oui! monsieur, I have a date with the finest, noblest, most womanly lady that ever breathed the pure- NVho's raving now, tell me? Sardine, can yourself ! sug- gested Frank. But, honest, she is all that, plus all other worthy character- istics, and then, everything multiplied by ten. She's Helen Savoy, from Florida. Throwing his cards on the table, Frank walked jerkily over to 72 THE SCRIBBLER the fireplace. Without turning, he placed a cigarette between his drawn lips and inhaled deeply. Who stole your kite, Frank? Aren't you going to play bridge with us? Penn asked. No, I don't feel like bridge. It makes me jumpy, and-well, 'spose I might as well say it-when you said that about your girl being so fine, well, it just got me. You see, I thought the same things about a girl, until-until tonight. Hang everything and girls, too ! he ejaculated between his tightly closed teeth. Sorry, Bog wouldn't have hurt you for anything. Guess I might as well go on down to my date then, if you won't play bridge with us, Penn added as he adorned the hat and scarf. Now Penn's dashing Packard roadster was an appropriate background for this college man Cas he liked to speak of him- self J, so when he sped through town on the way to his engage- ment, he caused many female hearts to flutter. His clothes, his profile, the single wave in his black hair, everything was as right as he could make it. Even his handkerchief was folded to per- fection. Therefore. when he brought the car to a standstill in front of the Savoy home, he was entirely pleased with himself. Do sit down, Helen cordially urged him, from where she sat in the swing. Really, though, I don't know whether I'm glad to see you or not. This heat is frightful. Did you have a huge time at the golf tournament today ? Listen at the child talk. Heat and golf tournaments! You don't sound thrilled to death to see me, or even glad that I'm three minutes early. Besides, my dear, you should speak of poetic things on a night like this, when there is a placid orange moon in the sky. And another thing, don't be indifferent to males, be- cause their hearts and their vanity are more susceptible to sycophancy. You sound as blue as Frank. f'Frank, Frank, who ? she asked excitedly. The ole pal, Frank Tylander, the male who hailed- Please hush a minute, Penn, she interrupted. VVhen did you see Frank? Five minutes before you came here? Did you tell him that you were coming up here? You did! Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! Well, Penn, what am I going to do? I had an early date with him, and I told him I had a headache and that I was going to bed. I had to tell him something so he would THE SCRIBBLER 73 leave before your date. Now see what you've done! Frank will be furious, but he XVO11,t say anythingg l'1e'll just ignore me. I love Frank, and I don't want him to think I'm fickle. Helen, haven't I a chance ? No, not as a lover, but you're always welcome as a friend- that is, if you will help me out about Frank. I could go back down to the club and say that I came up here, but that your mother said that you had gone to bed with a sick headache. VVould that do ? 'KYes, you're a brick ! she replied in a relieved voice. All right. good night. he called back as he slammed the door of his car. At least, he won't think she's fickle, and she was 'Frank' about the thing, he thought as he gave the car more gas. VIRGINIA MAGNESS, 'Z7. o THE STORM The mighty storm comes from the west- His cloak of blackest cloud All whirled and twisted by the wind That shrieks and wails aloud.

The sky is splashed 5 with hues of gold and rose which blend and fade into each other like magic dyes. White, fluffy clouds sift Q I uk! lightly through the dying rays and float away, tinged with faintest pink, like velvet rose petals softly falling. One shell-pink cloud, fringed with gold, drifts lazily below the rest. It is fit only to be made into a flimsy gown for some fairy queen. I know that fairies must lie on those rose-colored clouds which puff along a golden path toward heaven. Perhaps their flying hair is caught in the glowing haze and made brighter as they go. Upon the dusty road there shines an amber mist, and every weary traveller who turns his steps that way treads upon a gold- dust path. VVhile a gurgling brook lists to the chimes of a bluebell or to the swish of a sweetly weeping willow as it brushes the water, the sun has wrought its magic, and now the little stream Hows like molten gold between the watercress. Aspens tremble in a golden shower, and cedars spread their branches to catch the dying light. The whole forest quivers with excitement as the sun takes its last farewell, and the trees rustle and whisper in hushed voices of her glory and majestic beauty. Only one streak of rose can now be seen through the pines, and it is fast becoming mingled and blurred with the blue above the horizon. Shades of night are swiftly approaching.

Everything was l ' evidently not going as it should out on the diamond. r ,. pecu lar ime or any ing suc as is ui Ir was a 1' r' f th' h th' .' ll to happen. Friction between the players might have ll been corrected and excused at the beginning of the summer, but, occurring now as it did with only one other game left in the ball league between the five other boys' camps around the lake, it was impending disaster to the championship hopes of Passaconaway. This desire for the championship had been steadily growing higher and higher in the hearts of the boys of the camp as the season had advanced. The ten skirmishes, two with each camp, were now nearly completed. Of the eight so far played, Passacon- away had lost only twog one, because of a batting slump, to Vifaubanaukeg the other, because of that eighth-inning error of the second baseman, to Belknap. They hadmet and subdued their hardest opponent, Idlewilde, though by the scant margin of 4-3. This good standing had kept Passaconaway on top all through the season. since Idlewilde had lost three games. Passaconaway had only two games left, one with the team in the cellar, Lawrenceg the last with their dread rival, ldlewilde. If the team won both games, it had an undisputed claim to the Lake Winnepausauke Camp Baseball League cup. lf it lost one. it must play out the tie with Idlewilde, who in turn would win the trophy if Passaconaway lost both coming encounters. The Passaconaway rooters, confident of annexing this game with Lawrence to their string of victories, had turned out in full force. They were now dejectedly watching the big upset. The bewildering game ended 7-2, in favor of Lawrence. No one seemed-to understand it at allg that is, no one except the coach. He had watched his catcher's signals. The pitcher was not throw- ing the called-for balls. Here was the cause of the loss of the game. The problem of the coach was to discover the reason for the reaction of his players. This trouble must be straightened out by him before the next game on Monday, four days off, because that game now would decide the championship. To accomplish this, great tact would be required. THE SCRIBBLER ' 77 The players themselves were also perplexed. They could not in the least comprehend how the Lawrence batters had knocked their star pitcher's offerings all over the lot, while they had hit nothing at all. Discouraged by their pitcher's poor twirling, many Passaconaway stickmen, who had never before been known to have done such a thing, had fanned out. On reaching their tents, the players were too downhearted to slip off their sweaty ball suits and take the dip in the lake, the special privilege of all players after each game. They merely lay on their cots and fermented. A heated discussion soon broke out. Cal VVaters, lithe third baseman, and Dick Yale, sturdy but agile upholder of the Hrst sack, started it in their tent. I tell you 'Scotty' was throwing them wild on purpose. Any dumbell could tell he was mad about somethingf' began Cal A poor sport you are to kick about your pitcher. How about your error in the sixth ? That,s none of your business. How about you, the camp league champeen 'king of swat,' K-Oing twice to that measly pitcher ? Oh shut up at once ! bawled the exasperated councillor of the tent. Vlfhile the discussion had been going on, a man had stopped behind the flap and listened. Now he moved on across the campus, with a deep frown furrowed on his forehead. He was Austin, the coach. Somehow he must get those two dumbheads together, Scotty Bennett and Bob Chapin, his pitcher and catcher respectively, and drill some good sense into their heads. It would require delicate work though. After supper that night, as he came from the mess hall, the coach decided to go out in a canoe. He hoped that it would calm his mind and give him a chance to think out his situation. Back in the mess hall the very air had been tense. The campers had silently but unrelentingly accused their players of bad faith. The players had sullenly accused one another. How different it had been from the usual triumphant return from a game, and the hearty cheering which hitherto had greeted his victorious teams! This trouble was gnawing its way into the heart of every camper there. Something had to be done. If he only knew the underlying :lv I 1 78 THE SCRIBBLER cause of the friction between his battery, the coach would know how to undertake his task. Once on the water, he paddled aimlessly. He lifted only from time to time his paddle from the cool, green waters to guide his canoe and to propel it on its gliding course. The afterglow was imparting a final touch of crimson to the skies above. The last golden rays of departing day bathed only the rugged peaks, tower- ing above the nestling lake, in their mellow glow. A dark and sombre blue was surmounting the purple haze on the forest- clad slopes of the looming ridges. The shades of the forest reached farther and farther out over the limpid, green surface of the waters. The swaying pines along the shadowy borders of the lake were crooning a lullaby over the scene. All was hushed, imparting peace and quiet. Suddenly an angry voice rang out from behind a small point of land just ahead. It was as unwonted as the missle of Pandarus. Another irate ejaculation followed the first one. The coach sat up, silently retarded his canoe, and listened with attentive ears. Scotty and Bob were evidently in their canoe in a little bayou behind that pile of protruding rocks. -And what's more, a voice was saying, if you don't stop now, you'll catch wilder balls than you caught today l Me stop! Why don't you quit her yourself? I have as much right to receive and answer letters from jane Austin as you have l I tell you she was mine in the first- The coach, however, waited for no more, but noiselessly turned his canoe and glided toward the distant camp. A mocking smile lit up his sun-tanned face. He had found that the bottom of his trouble was the real though unrecognized root of all evil-woman. His battery was at death grips because of Jane Austin, Coach Aus- tin's very own, very attractive kid sister, who was spending the summer on an island nearby. She had attended most of the ball games of the neighboring camps. It is needless to say that she was a popular and most welcome guest. Now as the coach thought of her, he remembered that she had once confided to him that she was undecided as to her secret sorrow. The decision lay between Scotty, Bob, and the handsome Idlewilde twirler. The once perplexing problem of the coach had its foundation in this situation. The coach smiled now, for he saw a possibility of 'if THE SCRIBBLER 79 straightening out his trouble and of winning the championship next Monday. He did some fast skimming over the surface of the lake in one of the camp's motor boats before he, weary but con- tented, slipped into his blankets that night. The game on Monday was scheduled away from home at Idlewilde. On the trip over on their boat, the Passaconaway players' confidence in themselves and their amiability for each other began to revive. Scotty and Bob, however, sat sulking in opposite ends of the boat, while their teammates sang whole- heartedly, if inharmoniously, The Catfish A-floating Down the River, The Old Empty Bottle, When Nero Played his Fiddle, and other such songs popular around camp. Gloomily, the pitcher and the catcher got out at the landing and hurried down the wooden pier to the scraping of cleated feet. Their eyes downcast, they marched through the deserted camp to the hostile yet friendly field. On reaching the diamond, however, something made the grumbling Scotty straighten up quickly. The coach, observing him closely, grinned in appreciation of the fact. On the Idlewilde players' bench there sat Jane Austin, ab- sorbed in talking to that Idlewilde pitcher, hated by Scotty. Noticing the arrival of Passaconaway, Jane looked up, only nodded to Scotty, and resumed her chatter with his rival. The Passaconaway star twirler strode over to its equally famed catcher, nudged him hard, and nodded toward Jane. He looked Bob straight in the eye, solemnly winked, and shot out his hand. The old pals shook with that firm grip of agreement and understand- ing. Let's warm up! from Scotty. The practice balls zoomed into Catcher Chapin's mitt signifi- cantly. The coach gleefully turned around and slapped Cal, his third baseman, on the back. Cal immediately bowled over, took a couple of somersaults on the turf, and sat up. completely bewildered. A VVe've got 'em beat ! the delighted coach cried. And they had them beat, too. GEORGE Lr'm.r:. '27. 3 RCHESTRA O HIGH SCHOOL i w ' A f-.5-2.

On this particular morning everything was unusually calm and peaceful. The teacher cloud. Miss Drusilla, smiled charmingly to each one of her pupils as they came in. NVhen they were all seated, she fluffed out her billowing white skirts and settled her- self behind her little white roly-poly desk. The children be- haved beautifully. If anyone wanted to change his seat. he moved so softly and quietly that the teacher didn't even stop smiling. Toward the end of the day, Miss Drusilla asked all of the cloud children to come up to the front and stand in a row, while she heard their spelling lesson. Since the cloud children liked to spell, they all hurried to get in line. They rolled and bumped and jostled one another until they made one solid mass of clouds before the teacher. Now, there was one fat, knobby little cloud that had wandered far off to the edge of the schoolroom. When the teacher called for the pupils to get in line, the 'little fellow puffed and rolled along as fast as he could. But when he reached the front, every place in the line was taken, and he was left standing timidly in front of the whole class, his head ducked in shame. XVho should come in at that minute but the cloud principal! The principal up in Cloud Land is just exactly like any other principal. He always comes in at precisely the wrong time. He is an awfully particular old fellow, too, and when he saw the poor little cloud standing there all by himself, he immediately suspected that something was wrong. He got all gloomy and cross, and glared at the belated cloud. THE SCRIBBLER 83 VVhe11 Miss Drusilla saw that the principal was in a bad humor. she stopped smiling and turned into a prim old maid. Oh these children, these children! she said threateningly. They never do right a thing that I tell them to ! Is that so ? thundered the principal. VVell, we'll see about lllalfi At these words the pupils began to scowl also. You can imagine what a pretty sight they were. The principal was dark. and frowny, and thunderingg Miss Drusilla was dark, and frowny, and complainingg and the little clouds were dark, and frowny, and frightened. The air itself turned from balmy blue to ill-boding grey. And no wonder! When the principal said that he would see about things, he always did. This time was no exception to the rule. He reached down into his bulging pocket and pulled out his horrible whip. This whip was made of nine cords of fire that glowed and burned in terrible colors. The principal raised his whip, cracked it above the heads of the clouds, and, with a deafening roar, lashed through their midst. The clouds scattered right and left, and the ropes of flame zig-zagged after them. To make matters worse, the cloud children began to cry. They cried so long and so hard that their tears fell all the way down to the earth. And do you know, the silly people down here on the earth. thinking that it was raining, put up their umbrellas and donned their raincoats. It looked so funny to see people walking around under umbrellas to keep off their tears that the clouds stopped crying, and every one of them began to laugh- principal, teacher, and all. The principal put away his lightning switch, the cloud children made a place for the last little pupil, the teacher smiled sweetly, and everything was calm again. HELEN GILLESPIE, '27.

A she wanted to go ahead, she wasn't nailed down. Something snapped. Charles Edgar Green, if you don't hurry and turn off that deafening alarm, and wake your father for that business engage- ment, Nl? called his mother from an adjacent room. A rather surprised Charles Edgar Green arose reluctantly from his comfortable bed without the usual dignity that is so conspicious in a high school senior. In the inky blackness he stumbled, barked a couple of shins, broke a rocker, and fell sprawling upon the chilly Floor. 'l'he alarm clock, unalarmed, rang on. Once again, Charles essayed a brave attempt. A stray tack found a soft spot in his foot, and, imbedding itself therein, told a keen tale. XVith a howl of distress, he admitted himself a beaten man. Raising the window, he hurled the unmusical tor- mentor to the black abyss below. After a few moments had elapsed, Charles, better known as Red. had collected his thoughts and also a few articles of cloth- ing. The memory of his father's business trip weighed heavily upon him. llastily he dressed and descended the stairs. 'Mornin', Dad, he greeted his parent with a triumphant grin. All set for that trip P They got in the car and. with a meaning look, Red pointed to the dash-board clock. Six exactly, isn't it? Now do I 'cop' the half? Surely, son. Edgar Green is a man of his word, replied his 7! father as he drew forth a crisp green bill. Here Keep the change. Little did Mr. Green know how near he came to losing a two thousand-dollar automobile just then! Thanks, gasped Red, finally recovering. Do you want to go to Mr. lJurant's now P - THE SCRIBBLER 85 Yes. Going in his car ? Yes, Is it a very important business trip P Yes, song but you shouldn't ask so many questions. All right, sir. Are you coming back tonight ? They drove on in silence, and in a short time arrived at the Durant's home. Mr. Durant and his son, Bob, were waiting for them. The two boys packed the baggage in the Durant's car, but they failed to notice that their parents carried two traveling bags, several bundles, and two long slender packages for a one-day trip. VV hen they had completed the task, the men started the engine. VVell, son, called Mr. Green as they pulled out, you may use the car today. Bob caught Red as he fell. Say! What's the big idea anyway ? queried Red Why all this happiness ? Search me! Dad was as gay as a monkey in a coconut palm all morning, replied Bob in a bewildered tone. 'Tm absolutely 'surrounded'. Both were silent for a few moments. The sun, rising gloriously, predicted a beautiful warm day. Such a day wasn't made for the drudgery of school, at least these two boys didn't think so. -And to think that with the car and a day like this we've gotta go to school, mused Red.'l 'Got to, did you say? VVhy be so emphatic E Bob's voice had a mischievous ring. Red looked up and grinned comprehensively. VVant to attempt it ? smiled Bob. Remember what happened before P asked Red with a gesture that any boy who has played hookey would understand. After a prolonged discussion, Bob won out. Red returned home and smuggled some fishing rods, along with some books, into the car. At an appointed time the two lads met and sped away. They set as their destination a place some distance from the city, a lake in a secluded district. The dangerous reputation of this criminal's paradise did not daunt them in the least. Time passed swiftly for these two carefree truants. Soon they if I lI I I 5 i --B -lil -ll' --IT --- -ll! -ll --- Cl -Ms Y - U r , ,... ,TWT Q- .I THE SCRIBBLER 87 were stopping the car near the lake. They were surprised to see the Durant's car nearby. They ran over and examined it. The front fenders were bent, and the hood was bespattered with blood. The car was destitute of luggage. Bob looked at Red, and Red looked at Bob. Each was aware of an expression of fear in the other's eyes. Could their parents have been murdered and possibly robbed? They re- membered the bloody tales told of this vicinity. Both, with fish- ing tackle still in hand, began to follow some indistinct tracks that led toward the lake. VVhen they were within a few yards of the lake, Red knelt to examine some footprints more closely. As he did so, he arose suddenly with much more alacrity than he had kneeled. He gave a yell of pain and turned to find a sharp trout Hy caught in his trousers. Isn't it sufficient for me. to run into a cow and ruin my car without having my tackle ruined, too P grumbled a provoked voice on the far side of some dense shrubbery. If these two boys were really as small as they felt when they recognized Mr. Durant's voice, Bob, with Red upon his shoulders, might have walked on tiptoe under a worm and never touched. So! exclaimed Mr. Durant as he came around the bushes. XYhat are you two doing here F VVe're on a very important business trip! retorted his son with a smile. Ch !-er-young men-, stuttered Red's parent, who came up at this time, we'll have to see that you are punished for playing 'hookey', and- Yes, threatened Red, and when we tell Mother the kind of business trips you take, she'll crown you king of all-with the sugar-bowl ! Now, I say, sonny, said Mr. Green, laughing jerkily and realizing his predicament, can't you take a joke? I really suppose the best method of procedure would be a compromise. eh ?

I'm gonna do 'em both myself. ll ll VVell, I'm gonna play the bass drum. ui I rather think you're not! Sis Bobby's gonna play that herself. I s'pose you and Sam'll both have to play the kazoo, if you won't shut up. This last was from jimmie Car- penter, the oldest of the four cousins, and their lawgiver. The other actors in this little incident were Sam, Jimmie's brotherg their little sister Barbara, better known as Bobbyg and their cousin. Custis Armstrong. Custis had been visiting these cousins for a while, and every- thing had been sailing smoothly, considering the parties con- cerned, except when it hadn't been, which was fairly often. The Carpenters- lived in a large country home where there was plenty of room for anything whatever that the four might enjoy. But Custis' main joy in life was to make everything go wrong and then raise a big row about it. Especially did he enjoy stirring up trouble about the orchestra which they had organized. Finally, the dispute was settled to the satisfaction of all ex- cept Custis. He and Sam were both playing kazoosg Sam the snare drumg and jimmie. besides playing the flute, was leading the orchestra. He motioned frantically, waved his baton fa piece of a broken broom handlej majestically over his head, and at a deep swoop of his arms. the concert began. From the direc- tion of the kazoos. a terrible noise arose, but quickly stopped. Custis explained that he was looking at the wrong music. But Sam seriously doubted the fact and cast a glowering look his way. VVell, 1 did! And you'd better not look at me in that tone of voice. I'll show you where you get off. crazy. Blaa-aa! Custis supplemented his remarks by protruding from between his teeth a little red object commonly known as a tongue. Blaa yourself. I'll look at you like I please. I'd like to know who made you my boss. At that there was a rattle of drums and kazoos as the two rushed together. Hut Jimmie, in all his majesty, came between them. THE SCRIBBLER 91 I tell you what. Le's have a duel! That'll be a good way to settle your quarrel. That's the way the men useta do all the time when they'd have a fuss, 'specially about a lady. An' y'all were sorta fussin' about Bobby, ,cause Custis wanted to play her bass drum. We c'n play like that's what it is. Ooo-oo, goody! Le's do. That'll be oodles of fun, an' I wanta be fought about. T hat's what all the ladies then liked, isn't it, Jimmie F Bobby gleefully cried at anything so thrilling as a duel. Custis objected, But whut'1l we fight with? They always fought with swords or pistols, and we can't do that. O, I tell ya, Bobby was all excitement, Sam's got a water pistol, and you c'n use that. Blaa, you don't know anything. You've got ta have two weapons, Custis answered. As usual, Jimmie settled the question by his all-powerful decision. One of ya c'n use the pistol an' th' other one c'n have a bucket. Bobby, you run get the pistol an' a bucket. Bobby willingly ran off on the important errand of securing the weapons for this decisive duel. She was all excitement at the prospect, and sincerely hoped it would be a fierce duel with much blood-shed, tear-shed, and water-shed. Soon she returned with the desired weapons, and the final preparations for the duel were made. B'lieve me, I ain't gonna use any bucket. I betcha I couldn't even pick it up, Custis remarked with a malignant glare at his opponent. Baby! Baby! Custis is a baby, Cazft pick up a bucket, bucketg Custis is a baby, baby, baby, baby, Bobby chanted. Ijit! shut your mouth! Custis snapped back. You shut your mouth, Sam yelled. You can't talk to my sister like that. . Jimmie immediately began to count: One, two, three, go ! And they did go. Custis must have been suddenly endowed with superhuman strength, for he raised his ammunition bucket high, and threw it, water and all, at Sam. Seeing it coming, Sam threw his and they met in mid-air. All the water fell in a torrent on the fuming Custis and dowsed him completely. But ITU E E CLASS YM RLS'G GI E O lv E Ivy .'lgyQfvTgw.s: 3 i.1I3g'!f'! a I THE SCRIBBLER 93 this cool shower did not at all calm his rage. In fact, it seemed to add a few coals to the fire, and the result was very warm steam from his lips. You-. But they were not such elevating words, so Weill just leave that part to your imagination. Sam accomplished his exit from the scene in as quick order as was possible, and headed straight for a nearby alley between two fences. Following close on his heels with a bucket, the pistol, the board from a nearby swing, and some few other port- able objects, was the enraged Custis. As Custis saw Sam enter this blind alley, he almost sang a little song to himself. He was sure he had seen where these two fences came together, so he knew that Sam was caught absolutely. Everything was arranged in the most perfect order for a long- continued and fierce siege, and Custis sat down to await the exit of his direst enemy. After an hour of impatient waiting on Custis' part, Bobby ran to his place of siege, and, with a benign smile, said. Mama says for you to come to dinner. Everybody's waiting for you. Custis calmed his voice sufficiently to ask, Where's Sam ? Oh, he came out of the other end of the path and went up to the house. He's havin' a grand time now readin' about an awful bloody duel.

No bridges being built, it was necessary for me to Ford several large streams. On the same night, I met an old Indian chief called Pontiac. Having two cots, he told me I could sleep on the Westcott.

Before them was an almost perpendicular white wall, seemingly endless in extent, behind, relentlessly increasing, pitilessly mock- ing their wide-eyed terror as it lapped in gentle wavelets at their feet, was swirling, ever-deepening flows of greenish water. It seemed as if the depths had singled out these two on whom to wreak some fiendish vengeance and was hurrying to execute its design. They climbed up the sheer precipice as far as the unstable footing would permit. They turned, and, with turning, recognized the futility of flight, for the water came greedily on. Then stark, chilling Fear took them in his loathsome arms, fondled them with bony fingers, and blew his icy breath on each separately, as he ogled them with fishy stare. As the blood that had receded from the surface returned and pounded on their ear- clrums. he laughed and whispered gleefully, No hope! No-hope ! The dilated eyes of one gazed in agony at the drawn, blanched features of the other. In that gaze was a world of horror, appeal, We T 104 THE SCRIBBLER despair. It carried a plea for aid that could materialize in not a thing. It was motivated by the same hope that makes a drown- ing man grasp at a straw. The echo of life would soon resound for these two.

THE SCRIBBLER 105 Patsy stopped writing, her pen poised in the air, and strained her ears. Sorry, she's out right now, she heard coming from the lips of -yes, you've guessed it-son jcuue frbre. Oh-h-h, I'm not-, she began, but, realizing she was too late as she heard a distinct rlirk, she stopped short. Oh-h-h, but you acted smart, didn't you ? sneeringly answered Pete. And I think it was your secret sorrow, too. And here he grinned evilly. Patsy said not a word. Not one! Not even, Alles au diablo, you nut. Instead, she picked up the poker. On second thought, however, she poked the Hre and smiled sweetly at Pete. Well, it's really quite all right, darling. I didn't want to talk to him any way, she said. Such unusual woids coming from Patsy were surprises indeed to Pete. He could stand poker-blows, and even retaliate to them. But-a sweet disposition? He couldn't even understand it. He was puzzled, therefore, for several days. He never knew before that Patsy could be so accommodating. Why, she even took messages for him over the phone when he wasn't there, and never once forgot to give them to him. In all his fifteen years, he could remember no such kindness as that. Pete came home one night with a box of chocolate-covered cherries-he had won them on a bet-and presented them to Patsy. A How grand, she beamed, and opened the box straight-way. By the way, Pete, Catharine phoned you this afternoon. and invited you to a dinner-party she's having Friday night. I ac- cepted for you. VVas that all right ? ' Why sho. VVho'm I gonna drag ?

E E 2 v If f El 106 THE SCRIBBLER 107 Suddenly she heard, as she said later, slow and deliberate foot-prints coming up the steps. Pete came in, murder gleaming in his eyes.

I am glad, I mean about skool, not the toothack. As I ain't got nothing special to do, I think I'll rite you a letter and tell you the news. Well, pa's got a tuch of rumertisim, and' our ole cat's got five kittens. They ain't opened they eyes yet, and they, the kittens, not they eyes, get in every body's way. Pa stepped on one of them yestiday and said dam , Ma told him he orten to use profain langwige before the chilren. He said he'd use some- thing besides landwige on us efen we did not stop gawping at him. We left the room imejetly. My face is swole up like a baloon. It sure hurts, and it's arful hard to rite when your tooth hurts. Cud you send me a quarter? Pa won't give me no money cause I stepped on his rumantic foot. I never meant to, but long's he's gonna be so stingy, I gotta half mine to do it again. This is confidenshul. That ole Sam VVethers that you think is so darling ain't darling a bit. He said Mable, that's my dog I swaped 5 marbles to Tubba for, looks like Miss Tabby Snoot. I bilt a good seat up in a tree so's I could see the baseball games fer nothing. Ole fat Tubba never made him no seat. VVell, when I come to the game and started to clime my tree. I saw Tubba setting up there on my seat. I said, Come outta my tree, Tubba, and Tubba just lalfs and sets. Bout that time the seat broke, and Tubba fell. His pants caught on a lim, and he just hung there a yeling till his pa come and cut him down. I was sure glad about Tubba, but sure sorry about that seat. Pa's calling me to come down and fetch some wood fer ma, and I guess I betta get back in bed as my tooth is beginning to hurt worser. Aw Revore CMeans goodhyj, Buck.. P. S.-If that prune Sam Wethers rites you I chunked rotten eggs at him, don't believe him, he's just a lier. Buck. P. S.-Don't forget the quarter. HELEN MAY JOHNSON, '28. 110 1-br V, ml?

Even during the Christmas holidays the squad worked faithfully. The members of the team were well repaid for their hard labor, too. In sixteen out of twenty-one gruelling contests, Red and Black emerged victorious. Although small in stature, our hoop aggrega- tion has many times proved to larger opponents that size alone does not win a game. The passing and the speed of our boys were far superior to that of former teams. For the first time since we have have had athletic relations with Parker, our speedy team conquered the Purple and Gold basket artists. Parker, however, revenged herself in the Tournament. This quintet seems to be our Waterloo in the Up-State contest every year. PRE-SEASON GAMES Q Christmas Holidays D Spartanburg ........... ....... Spartanburg ..................

Fike This is the first year that a team has represented S. H. S. on the cinder path. At the beginning of the season, no one knew just exactly what a track team was. Under the skilful direction of Mr. Dobson, the group practiced for several weeks. Only twice have the boys met defeat, and then at the hands of two ex- perienced prep schools. This form of sport is coming daily into greater prominence. District meets are now being held in dif- -4 4 'ff E-4 v F -A -1 2 I 1' It fren T -21 'WfwfevlQu .THE SCRIBDLER 123 ferent parts of the State. The winners of these meets go to Columbia on May the fifth to hold a State meet. Our team won over five schools in the Up-State meet, thus being entitled to the trip to the Capital.

This year the tennis bug seems to have been working with ex- traordinary enthusiasm. There were eighty-three entries in the preliminaries. The semi-finals and finals will be played in the near future. HIKING Each class has been hiking during the year. This sport is one that is always popular among the students. The hike must be at least five miles long. Miss Bowers is planning to take the Seniors on an overnight hike some time before the end of school. MoNoGIzAMs Each student of the gym classes is working to get the necessary one hundred points which entitle her to a monogram. These points are given for hiking, tennis, swimming, boating, and participation in any kind of athletics. Related to this are the numerals which one receives for playing on a team of any kind.

Good Opportunity for Ambitious Boys. When a fourteen-year-old boy quits school to go to work, he will reach his highest earning power at thirty. Between fourteen and eighteen his total earnings will be about 52,000.00 His total earnings from fourteen to sixty will be about fI545,000.00. lf. instead of going to work at fourteen, this same boy will go through high school, he will then start to work at eighteen. At twenty-five he will be earning more than the untrained man earns at thirty, and he will reach his own highest earning power at forty. Between eighteen and sixty he will earn about 578,000.00 This is 533,000.00 more than the untrained man will earn in the same period. If a four-year high-school course will enable a man to earn 533,000.00 more than he could earn without it, his four years in high school will have paid him 58,250.00 a year. The money necessary to pay for the boy's education can readily be assembled by maintaining a savings account with the First National Bank of Spartanburg, S. C.
